Looking through various scripts (ckbcomp in particular), I found out that the problem was caused by the entry of

CHARMAP="UTF-8"

in /etc/default/console-setup, while a corresponding UTF-8.acm.gz does not exist in /usr/share/consoletrans/ as chkcomp was expecting. If I change the CHARMAP to use a different encoding that does exist in this directory, such as

CHARMAP="ISO-8859-1"

then the problem is fixed once you reboot or restart /etc/init.d/console-setup.

So, I don't know where the bug is... somehow my Edgy was installed with UTF-8 specified for the console encoding, but the file /usr/share/consoletrans/UTF-8.acm.gz was not installed.
